Link Analysis shows no external sites linking to me?
-
Hi All, I hope you can help. Link Analysis shows no external sites linking to me? but I know for a fact there are. Why is this? I have submitted my site to a few local directories and can see my site is on their site but when I run a Link Analysis it shows that I have no links. Does anyone know why this is? Many thanks, Aidan My site is http://www.theethicalsilkco.com/

It can take a couple of months for links to show up. Our server farm isn't as big as Google or Bing, so we don't crawl as fast or deep as they do. They'll know about links before we do. It probably just needs a little more time is all. If links still don't show up, it could be because they're on pages we haven't crawled yet because they are lower quality, or just buried on a site. For example, we don't show all of the links from Twitter -- we just don't have the power to crawl all of Twitter and still crawl anything else!

Seomoz takes longer to calculate the links and they do not have every URL indexed. If you look in your Google webmaster tools, SEOmoz's Open Site Explorer and Majestics backlink checker (http://www.majesticseo.com/) you should get most of the indexed backlink data you need. Keep in mind that you might place a link on a page today that may not get indexed for 6 weeks.
Also, have you submitted a sitemap to Google?
-
Boom! There they are. 29 results.
So, from this can you tell me none of these are showing up in my Link Analysis report or when Google stated that it had not indexed my site in over 90 days even though i used Google Fetch only 2 weeks ago and it came back successful?
I bet you reject answering my initial question
Thanks for all the help thus far

Hey AIden, my mistake... Inurl only shows parameters within URLs
Try this instead inlink:www.theethicalsilkco.com this command shows your indexed links.
-
Sorry Donnie, But you are going to have to hold my hand through this
What should I be seeing when I use this operator? I see 4 results. I see that Google has not visited it in the last 90 days. I should request this in WT no? I used- link:www.theethicalsilkco.com and got no results. I presume that this means that no-one is linking to me. Although I can see 2 sites that link to me: http://www.rte.ie/radio1/todaywithpatkenny/2010-12-16.html www.independent.ie/lifestyle/christmas/five-christmas-presents-that-keep-on-giving-2444715.html Thanks, Aidan

I took out the "http://"... here type " inurl:www.theethicalsilkco.com/ "

Hi Donnie,
My URL is a few years old but I re-did the site approx 5 months ago. When I do the same search I get 2 pages of results. That's with me signed out of Google.
But all these results are my pages.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks again. Very much appreciated

SEOmoz can take some time to index a new site... How old is your site? It must be fairly new because I also tried finding your links in google (by typing inurl:http://www.theethicalsilkco.com/ into the search) and only two results came up...

When will link farms and back sites be penalized or when will the website using them as backlinks be penalized?
After doing some backlink searching on competitors, I see a great deal of competitor's backlinks are obvious linkfarms and just completely unrelated to their field. Also I see a lot of forum comments using links are showing as backlinks, upon inspecting the html element I see they're " no follow " links. Why are they showing up as backlinks with link equity then?

Accidentally generated navigation links that point to American site from Australian site.
Somehow we ended up getting hundreds-of-thousands of links coming from our .au (Australia site) to our .com (America site). We believe that something happened during a change that turned a handful of our example.com.au navigational and footer links into back links pointing to example.com and sub-domains of the American version. We are currently fixing this, but we are wondering if this could potentially be problematic in terms of a penguin penalty due to an unnatural linking campaign or back link scheme. Could this error create major problems for us in the near future if we have corrected the issue? Your thoughts are welcome! Thanks!

Inbound Links not showing. Links are not no follow
Over the past several months I have definitely received inbound links to my website ( none of which are no follow). I have HubSpot as well s Moz and none of the links are showing. My competitors with the same link sources are showing though. I am completely dumbfounded. Why are my inbound links not showing and how much time does it take for them to show if they show at all? Thank you!

Exchanging Follow/No-Follow Links with Parnter Site
Hi all, Wondering how Google would interpret the exchange of a no-follow link for a follow link between partner websites. I have a potential referral relationship with a business in my niche and we are hoping to cross-market. The goal would be for my link on his page to be a follow link, while the link to his business on my page would be a no-follow. Would my site get the benefit of a natural link in that scenario or would the two essentially 'cancel each other out' regardless of the follow/no-follow nature of the link? Thanks in advance for any help! -Rich

Can I Gather Inbound Links from Different Subject External Websites?
I am working on link building campaign and trying to gather inbound links from various subject external websites. I have big confusion with this effort. I am working on eCommerce website and getting inbound links from technology related website. So, Does it really matter for better performance? I want to give one example to get more idea. I am selling table lamps on my website and trying to get inbound links from that kind of websites which are highly dominating to table lamps or lighting industry. But, This is not only one case. Sometime, I have opportunities to create inbound links from different subject website. Simply, If I will compile one content for UGC section on SEOmoz and links to my website with table lamps so, Will it help me to rank for table lamps keyword? Exact match hyperlinks on external website always matter::: That I aware about it. But, what about subject orientation. I am Table Lamps monster & you are SEO monster. So, Will Google give benefit to that kind of links which are dominating different subject? I have solved some issues about quality of website after installing SEOmoz toolbar in my browser. Because, I or We are visiting multiple websites during daily stuff and may find out opportunities to drop our website link over there. But, I have fear to drop my website link in any website. Does it really matter quality or website & How can I judge it better rather than SEOmoz toolbar? I have added such a big question with proper declaration but, I want to jump in to link building campaign and want to earn good value after my long term effort.
